Maybelline New York Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lip Moodmakers Collection

Recently, I’ve been trading my nude lipsticks for bright, poppy shades. I can’t wait to swipe on this hot pink hue, 465 Revivor, from Maybelline New York. The high-impact color applies matte and sticks around for up to 16 hours, so you don’t have to worry about it fading after a cup of coffee (or two!).

ILIA In Frame Brow Gel

For me, a clear brow gel is a makeup staple, especially since I love a fluffy, feathered eyebrow look. This new launch from ILIA helps mold my brows into the perfect shape without flaking off throughout the day, and I love that it’s made with hydrolyzed quinoa for conditioning benefits. 

Garnier Fructis Grow Strong Shampoo

I’m on a mission to grow my hair out as fast as possible, so I’m  being extremely conscious with how I’m caring for and styling my hair. In addition to using heat protection every time I use a hot tool, I’m reaching for strengthening, anti-breakage shampoos and conditioners. I love this affordable option from Garnier Fructis. To help reduce the chances of breakages while providing ample hydration and thoroughly cleansing, it utilizes ingredients like niacinamide and apple extract.

L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24H Fresh Wear Soft Matte Blush in Daring Rosewood

I’m a blush girl through and through, and testing out all types of formulas from creams, to powders and gels is one of my favorite beauty pastimes. This super pigmented formula is next on my list. It comes in four stunning shades, has a saturated, sweat-proof finish and lasts for hours without fading or smudging. Daring Rosewood is a rosy brown hue that I definitely see myself wearing over and over again this summer.

TAN LUXE The Express Hydrating Self-Tan Water

A glowy bronze sans the sun is a must when the weather gets warm, so I’ve been relying on this Express Hydrating Self-Tan Water to get the job done. I love how easy it is to apply (simply leave on for 30 minutes to three hours depending on how much glow you want!), and how it doesn’t leave my skin feeling stripped or dry. The best part is that it has vitamin C, vitamin B5, allantoin and hyaluronic acid to help soothe and moisturize the skin, too.

Urban Decay Hydromaniac Dewy Liquid Blush

The blush era is upon us, and I for one am glad. This dewy, lightweight liquid blush feels like nothing on the skin, but I only need one small drop on each cheek for the color payoff I’m trying to achieve. That’s how pigmented it is! There are six shades that would suit a variety of skin tones and makeup looks, but my go-to is Wrecked, a soft rosy nude shade.

ELOREA The Elements Discovery Set

I bought this fragrance set as a gift for my friend’s birthday, and I’m not sure who was more excited when it arrived — me or her. The set comes with four mini eau de parfums, each of which were made in Korea and represent a different element (there’s Earth, Heaven, Water and Fire), plus a $33 voucher to buy a full-size scent. It’s a fun way to explore a variety of fragrances at once without breaking the bank, and I’m in love with the sleek, neutral packaging. Right now, my friend’s favorite fragrance is Earth (she’s already ordered her full-size version) and mine is Heaven, which smells to me like sweet, summer-ripened fruit.

Giorgio Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Glow Liquid Bronzer

During the summer, my beauty vibe is the glowier, the better. I love the look of a warm, sun-kissed complexion, so bronzer basically becomes my BFF as soon as the temps rise above 70 degrees. This lightweight liquid option from Giorgio Armani Beauty is an instant fave. It has a silky, serum-like texture that blends effortlessly into my skin, and it’s luminous without being sparkly or glittery. Bonus: It has SPF 15 to give me a little boost of sun protection on top of my broad-spectrum sunscreen. 

Danessa Myricks Infinite Chrome Flakes in Bi-Pride

Anyone who knows me knows I cannot resist a glittery makeup moment. The new Bi-Pride shade of Danessa Myricks’ cult-favorite Infinite Chrome Flakes is a mesmerizingly pretty pinky-purple and ocean blue combo that I can’t wait to wear to the next concert I go to. With light-catching holographic flakes, this eyeshadow topper adds a little magic to any eye makeup look.

L'Oreal Paris Prime Lab Up to 24H Primer

As much as I love a glowy look, there’s a fine line between looking glowy and looking greasy. The L'Oreal Paris Prime Lab Up to 24H Primer has been my secret weapon in achieving the glowy look on my oily, acne-prone skin. Formulated with 1% LHA and salicylic acid, this non-comedogenic primer visibly improves the skin while extending makeup wear for up to 24 hours. I apply it to my T-zone as well as any problem areas before applying a dewy-finish foundation, and I find that my skin looks glowy in all the right areas without going overboard. Since I tend to get super oily in the summertime, I know this is going to be a primer I reach for throughout the season!
